Mini Trail Mix and another sneak peek

I don't really need another project, but came across these orphan blocks and only needed to make 4 to have enough for this little mini Trail Mix. I'm not 100% sure this is the final set, I'll live with it for a little while. The big one is still waiting for borders. I really should get back to that, it is so gorgeous!! But this little one will get a border and then be ready to quilt - yea!!!

I worked yesterday on some of the block elements for In Full Bloom to get ready for our guild sewing party next week. This will be a vine border that is somewhere in the middle part of the quilt. It won't have a lot of flowers, but some (of course).

There will be log cabin blocks and double 4 patches.

There will be square in a square and 16 patch set on point.

It's overwhelming to think that these will ultimately create a quilt - but I can see the promise of the quilt that is in my head. The fabrics are so beautiful, I sure wish I could go looking around in Edyta's scrap basket though!! :) Can you even imagine!?!

The mini Trail Mix is something I have been interested in making ever since I saw the full version pattern in one of the quilt magazines. I think your smaller version is a good idea. It gives the effect without all the many, many pieces to sew together for the full size.

About Me

I have been married to my college sweetheart for 43 years. We have 2 married children and 4 grandchildren. Born and raised in Rochester, NY I started my first quilt in 1969 and have been crazy about fabric ever since. The quilting bug grabbed me for real in 1982 and has never let go.
